medicine in New Hampshire, if not in New
England. The number Of boxes is not stat

the thousands. The sale and success of
these sd. KS" is becoming phenomenal,
owing in part, no doubt to public confidence
in Dr.. Woodbury. as an ex-president of the
somewhat famous New Hampshire Central

ents quite scare Sunday by starting off in
the morning on a tramp and not returning at
night. Their names were Allen, Gushing
and Bickford. and they told their parents
they were going out to the life saving station
on the Cape. They did not return at night,
and yesterday their folks began to hunt for
them. During the day one of them came
strolling back and reported that instead OF
going out to the cape they went to Var
mouth and staid at one of the boys uncles's
all night He got scared when morning
came and returned home, leaving the Other
two to continue in their wanderings. They
were boys about dozen years Of age.

THE GREAT RACE.
Caudaur and Teemer at Marano-
cook.

Gaudaur and Teemer both take practice
spins daily at Lake Maranocook, for their
race next Thursday. The oarsmen are on
equal grounds, as far as their boating goes,
as the shell of each was made by Ruddock
Although the race is between Teemer and
Gaudaur only, they have other famous oars
men in their train. Peter Conley practices
daily with Gaudaur, andILee,; famous both as
an amateur and professional, acts as his
trainer. With Teemer came Hamm, Plais-
ted and Kennedy. In the way of oaric rank,
after the champions Gaudaur and Teemer,
come Lee, Hamm and Conley, and Plaisted
and Kennedy are but a whit behind these
comrades in the aqueous arena. The great
est interest is felt in the race because in
sporting parlance it is for blood and will be
won on its merits, and, moreover, will decide
whether EGaudaur or Teemer will be sent
to Australia to row Beach in case he
case he succeeds in defeating Hanlon, who is
now in the lslandiContinent, prepared to win
back his lost laurels. Both Gaudaur and
Teemer have defeated Hanlan and have both
lost to Beach, although Gaudaur is said to
have given the Australian champion the pref
test race ever seen on the Thames.

for year when Allen took possession of her al
Ramsdell claims without his consent Ramsdel
then wrote Allen that if he was going to keep the
mare and not allow her to be entered in the State
fair races she ought to be turned out to pasture
and that he would not be willing to pay more than
three dollars per week therefor. Allen then con
tracted with the plaintiff TO pasture and exercise

tiff had boarded the horse nearly three years
when Ramsdell went TO the pasture in the night
and took the mare and colt home. Thereupon
Mckinney replevined the mare and colt claiming
lien upon them for the keeping. Ramsdell
claims that Allen had right to create a lien on
his part of the horse. 1t is also claimed that
